DTI, DILG tap BatStateU anew for BPLS validation survey
BatStateU was once again tapped by the Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Interior
and Local Government (DILG) Region IV-A for the Vali-
dation Survey on the St reamlin ing of Bus iness Permits
and Licensing System (BPLS) in the CALABARZON
Region.
The pro ject ’s p rimary ob ject ive is to validate the
BPLS pract ices of the ident ified fifteen (15) Local
Government Units in Region IV-A CALABARZON
which are reported to have streamlined their permitt ing
process since January 2013. The validat ion is anchored
on the standards set by the DTI and DILG.
To facilitate regu latory simplificat ion serv ices to
LGUs , the DTI and DILG facilitated the Orientation on
Streamlining of BPLS held at the AIM Conference Cen-
ter, Makat i City on Ju ly 29, 2013. The said o rientat ion
was part icipated in by DTI and DILG personnel,
reg ional d irectors , private sectors and business
groups. Mr. Aquino M. Dela Peña, being one of the
members of BatStateU team in the validat ion pro ject,
also attended the said o rientat ion .
`
The d iscussion h igh lighted the p rogram’s goal to
assist cit ies and municipalit ies in fostering a bus iness
climate that will contribute to p rivate sector develop-
ment as well as the economic development . It in -
volves an exhaust ive rev iew of a local government
unit ’s regu latory framework with the ob ject ives of
removing unnecessary requ irements in reg istering
business.
As an offshoot of the o rientat ion t rain ing to vali-
date the st reamlin ing of BPLS in local government
units in CALABARZON, the BatStateU research
team conducted the validat ion survey on the p ract ices
of selected 15 LGUs in the reg ion which are reported
to have st reamlined their permitt ing process.
BatStateU researchers include Mr. Aquino De La
Peña, Mr. Armando Mendoza, Ms. Irene Marali t,
Mr. Gemar Perez, Mr. Francis Balazon, Mr.
Edgar Mendoza and Mr. Kristoffer Conrad
Tejada. They conducted interv iews regard ing cus-
tomer percept ions about the bus iness reg istrat ion and
applicat ion .
The survey aimed to validate the st reamlined
process o f the LGUs and obtain response from the
reg istrants on their experience in do ing transact ions
related to business permit app licat ion . Two processes
were documented and validated: (1) the application for
the renewal of permits to operate businesses; and (2) the
new permits application to operate businesses in
CALABARZON. A total of 300 samples were randomly
selected, the sample size was proportionally allocated to
15 LGUs with 20 respondents each (10 for new and 10
for renewal).
The suvey was conducted in the fo llowing LGUs :
Carmona, Gen . Trias , Das mariñas (Cavite); Pagsan-
jan , Sta. Rosa, Calamba (Laguna); Batangas City,
Tanauan City , Calaca (Batangas); Ant ipo lo, Cainta,
Tanay (Rizal); and Lucban , Lucena, Lopez (Quezon).
The DTI Regional Office ident ified the aforemen-
tioned LGUs .

After the fo rmal sign ing of the Memorandum of
Agreement , the p ro ject commenced with the strateg ic
plann ing and orientat ion of the BatStateU team. It
was emphasized that the survey essent ially intended
to assess the LGUs ’ compliance to the Jo int
Memorandum Circu lar (JMC) issued by DTI and
DILG regard ing BPLS, specifically in new bus iness
applicat ion and in the app licat ion for bus iness
renewal.
The focus was on the adopt ion of the BPLS
Unified Form, reduct ion in the number o f signatories
in the permit , limit ing the number o f steps in app ly-
ing/ p rocessing bus iness permits and licenses, and
reduct ion of p rocessing t ime, all of which are
standards on BPLS streamlin ing .
The descript ive mix- method was used to come up
with the results o f the validat ion survey . Qualitat ive
elements like the respondents’ p rofile and the type
and classificat ion of their bus iness, and quant itat ive
factors like s ize, cost, and years o f bus iness opera-
tion , were cons idered in the survey . The LGUs ’
processes ind icators were analyzed against the
national standards as set in the JMC.
Results o f the survey show that generally , the
Bus iness Permits and Licens ing System (BPLS) of
the surveyed cit ies and municipalit ies in Region IV-A
CALABARZON are streamlined and compliant with
the DTI-DILG Jo int Memorandum Circu lar-1 Series
of 2010.
Some surveyed LGUs , however, showed min imal
deviat ions from the standard, which may be properly
rect ified th rough a rig id inspect ion and monito ring
system by concerned agencies to ensure that LGUs
fo llow standard ized procedures, especially in stream-
lin ing the five standard steps for bus iness permit
applicat ion and in adopt ing the content o f the s ing le
unified fo rm as st ipu lated in DTI-DILG Jo int
Memorandum Circu lar.
The results of the validation survey was submitted to
the DTI Regional Office, and eventually to the National
Competitiveness Council (NCC).
The Project Management Team discusses the details of the survey
during their orientation meeting for the project.

DOST launches Smarter Philippines program
W ith the immense challenges imposed by the inev itab le
internat ional and nat ional changes that affect the country’s
economical, po lit ical and socio-cu ltu ral landscapes, the
Ph ilipp ine government is charged with the responsib ility of
proposing various measures to address such challenges, trigger
catch -ups and decrease gaps with the more advanced nat ions.
As the nat ional government’s arm in p rov id ing central
direct ion , leadership and coord inat ion of all scient ific and
technolog ical act iv it ies, and in fo rmulat ing po licies, p rograms
and pro jects to support nat ional development, the Department
of Science and Technology (DOST) cont inues to find ways to
ensure that steps are undertaken that would address areas of
maximum economic and social benefits fo r the people.
Recent ly , the DOST launched its new umbrella Science and
Technology program called S marter Philippines to maximize
the effect of science and technology on communit ies and
people. Th is is hoped to eventually improve the quality of life
of the Filip inos and drive socio-economic growth throughout
the country .
In an art icle from the In format ion and Communicat ions
Technology Office (ICTO) of DOST, the department’s new
program is set to spur economic growth , bannered by its six
core areas of Smarter Government, Smarter Economy, Smarter
Environment , Smarter Mobility , Smarter Liv ing and Smarter
People.

key enab ler in Smarter Environment wherein a
combinat ion of various technolog ies are used to develop
environmental hazard models and weather monito ring
systems to p revent the devastat ing effects o f natural
disasters .
Sec. Montejo believes that these intelligent ICT -
enabled systems, combined with scient ific knowledge
and local know-how, will prov ide more solut ions to our
pers istent prob lems , and resu lt in better lives fo r the
Filip ino people.
He added that with the help o f an engaged cit izenry ,
the Ph ilipp ines can make quantum leaps in its socio -
polit ical and socio -economic systems , to reap the fu ll
benefits of a s marter future.
Sec. Montejo elaborated on how intelligence can be
embedded in many aspects of our daily lives to have
sign ificant t ransformat ional effect. He stressed that
“there really is no limit to the many ecosystems and
in frastructures in which we can embed intelligence
through science and technology . Th is emerg ing parad igm
is tru ly what will complete the next revo lut ion : the shift
from “informat ion societ ies” to “smarter (networked)
societ ies”, to Smarter Ph ilipp ines.”
